Pedro, When I asked this question a few months back, this is what I found.
The "Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no" option for Job and JobDefs may be what you need. Setting this to "yes" tells bacula to interleave multiple jobs onto the same tape volume. Setting this to "no", along with an appropriate "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" setting, tells bacula to open an new tape volume for the job. The new volume will be opened an another tape drive, if one is available. I've found that if there isn't a job already running bacula will unload an existing tape volume and load a new one if a job specifies a separate pool rather than just using the most available drive. ---- Alan Davis Senior Architect Ruckus Network, Inc. 703.464.6578 (o) 410.365.7175 (m) [EMAIL PROTECTED] alancdavis AIM > Message: 2 > Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 12:40:54 +0100 > From: Pedro Sep?lveda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Bacula-users] Concurrent backup jobs in an autochager with > two drives > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Hi all. > I have an autochanger: ... > runnin in a single host, > > Is it possible to configure bacula to use both of these autochangers > with 2 concurrent backup jobs? > Tanks a lot. > > > > -- > +-----------------------------^------------------------+ > | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ Pedro Sep?lveda | > | http://www.uco.es/~cc0semop ^ Cordoba (SPAIN) | > +-----------------------------^------------------------+ ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 14:25:15 +0100 From: Michel Meyers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Catalogue recovery problem.

Of course because the recovered I believe you can use bscan to scan the tape and have the 'number of files' value in the catalog adjusted. Likewise, you should be able to use bscan to scan the tapes that contain backups and have the metadata imported into the catalog. (have a look at the manual for further details on how to use bscan) Greetings, Michel ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 13:30:04 +0000 (GMT) From: Alan Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Catalogue recovery problem.

There is no need for that when the cause of such an error is known, such as in this case (aborted backup) Simply "Update" the volume with the number of files reported and toggle it into append mode. Bscan will insert the aborted job's files into the catalogue - which is usually innappropriate.

Bacula doesn't do any multiplexing with the exception of some minor comm concerning the heartbeat, so there is no such thing as demultipling for Bacula. It does do simultaneous execution of jobs. > > -- > Per Andreas Buer / Linpro AS t: 21 54 41 21 / m: 958 39 117 > > http://linpro.no/ - Ledende p?

I believe that in if understand this correctly I might be able to help too other people. You say, about the "update slots" command , ?assuming the drive is empty AND there is nothing actively attempting to using the drive ?. The "update slots" command its not save because in order to bacula know which tape is in the slots, it needs to load all the tapes on the drive in order to read their labels, right? If so, and saying that my tape loader can read barcodes and bacula is using them to label the tapes, can i say that in this case its safe even though its not the recommended way to do it? When you say ?This behaviour is corrected in late 1.39 betas?, you mean about the the mount issue? Thanks for your help. I which you a merry Christmas.
